Use for finding and running Cloudflare commands from the terminal — sign-in and profiles, cf cli search, cf schema, cf deploy/dev/build, resource commands for DNS, zones, D1, KV, and R2 — and for choosing between cf and Wrangler in a project.” [Cloudflare · upstream description ↗](https://github.com/cloudflare/skills/blob/53395984c3ea1925d00fce03b266112302f050e6/skills/cf-cli/SKILL.md) Our analysis follows below. 01 / THE REASONING ## Why this made the selection. - The catalogue already has Wrangler, Workers, and Turnstile skills from this repository and not the cf CLI skill. - The file separates cf from an existing Wrangler project and says a non-interactive aborted delete can still exit 0. ### A good fit for - Choosing cf or Wrangler from the config files in a Workers project before running a Cloudflare command ### Weigh up before choosing - This review did not execute the resource. - The linked Cloudflare documentation pages were not fetched, and the claim of 2,900-plus commands was not counted from a cf binary. - The repository README does not name a licence; the Apache-2.0 text is the root LICENSE at this commit. 02 / THE REVIEW RECORD ## What we actually inspected. Source review has boundaries. A clear record is more useful than a “safe” badge. ### Material inspected - skills/cf-cli/SKILL.md - README.md - LICENSE ### Our findings - The skill says cf is in beta and that agents should search cf cli search, then inspect cf schema or --help, instead of relying on pre-trained command names. - It says cf keeps its own credentials, does not reuse a Wrangler login, and that unattended agents cannot finish cf auth login and should set CLOUDFLARE_API_TOKEN. - It says a destructive command without --force in a non-interactive session can print Aborted and still exit 0, so a zero status is not evidence the resource was deleted. ### Not established by this review - The resource was not executed and its tools were not called. - cf was not installed. - No Cloudflare API call was made. - The documentation URLs in the skill were not opened. - Not executed: it was not installed or run. The review applies to the material and revision named here. A newer upstream release can change its behavior. 03 / PUT IT TO WORK ## Add a skill to your workflow.

Optional: install the reviewed revision Keeps the original source and installer version where recorded, while leaving your AI tools and installation scope for you to choose. npx skills add https://github.com/cloudflare/skills Copy reviewed-revision command ↗ - The README's npx skills section is the command above and installs the repository's skills, not a cf-cli-only flag. - The same README also shows /plugin marketplace add cloudflare/skills and /plugin install cloudflare@cloudflare for Claude Code. - The skill table names cf-cli as the skill for finding cf commands and choosing between cf and Wrangler. ### Before you start - Node.js 22.18 or later, as the skill states - A skills-compatible agent - A Cloudflare API token for unattended use, which this review did not create ### Compatibility Claude Code · Cursor · OpenAI Codex · OpenCode · GitHub Copilot · skills CLI ### Implementation shell ### Local CLI instructions plus optional Cloudflare credentials - Read the skill - Search local cf commands with cf cli search, which the skill says needs no credentials - Call the Cloudflare API only if the operator supplies a token or completes login ### Cost model Apache-2.0; no Cloudflare API call was made in this review 04 / FOLLOW THE EVIDENCE ## The source trail.
